Numbers, Statistics, and Lies: Bye Week

Dylan Widger-Imagn Images A mid-season check on where the Huskers rank in the conference and nation. NSL is a quick look at basic stats and where Nebraska ranks in all of FBS as well as the Big Ten. I pull out some random stats the dart landed on carefully curated statistics and then analyze where the numbers match the eye test. There are 134 teams playing FBS football in 2024. The chart below is broken into quintiles the top 20% is colored dark green. These...

Nebraska Football: Three Surprises, Two Questions and One Prediction

Stephen Bruce Three Surprises The two best offensive players are true freshmen. At this point I would claim that the two best players on the offensive side of the ball are Dylan Raiola and Jacory Barney. I think going into the season that many would have expected that Raiola would play well and could be the best player on the offensive side of the ball. However, I did not hear anybody suggest that Jacory Barney could be on that list. At this point in the...

Friday Flakes: Two Way Too Early Bowl Game Projections for Nebraska Football – You Might Not Like One of Them

Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images We are halfway through the season and Nebraska is sitting at 5-1. So some bowl game projections have started to come out and in this case this one is from ESPN. They had two “bowl gurus” – Mark Schlabach and Kyle Bonagura pick every single bowl. Mark Schlabach has Nebraska playing Texas A&M in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando, FL. Kyle Bonaguara has Nebraska playing Duke in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, NC. I’m not going to complain...

Tonight, we will be discussing the win against Rutgers and what we have learned about our Huskers Football team half way through the season.

Thursday Flakes: A Tribute to Johnny, Playoff Baseball and More

Sergei Belski-Imagn Images So many sports in season now! As a long time (suffering) Calgary Flames fan, I was devastated when I learned of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew’s passing. My favorite shirt is a Gaudreau Flames shirt. I wear it every home game Calgary has. As the Flames got their season underway Wednesday night, there was a tribute for the Gaudreau brothers. Even though they were on the road, the tribute was very touching. It’s good to have hockey back, as it now...

Huskers Happy Hour: It Was a Good Show!

Coach Rhule explains he has nothing to do with this podcast. | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Unfortunately, after a day behind the wheel, I fell asleep at it when it came to alerting everyone about the pod. Oi. Welp, I’ve done some goofy things learning the pod life, but this one took the cake. I’m currently on my way to southwest Colorado to pound some trails, spend a few nights in the wild, maybe play a round or two of golf and generally just...

Nebraska Football: A Much Needed Break

Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Time to heal and refocus Nebraska has officially entered its first bye week of the season at the halfway point. A lot of positives can be taken away from this. At 5-1, Nebraska is on the brink of finally making a bowl game for the first time since the Cubs won the World Series (no, not 1908, they’ve won one since). The biggest thing for the turnaround in record is the turnover margin. The Huskers currently possess a +6 in the turnover...
